How I See The Rainbow
Red is for the rage that fills homophobic people to the brim. Orange is for the only people we can trust. Yellow is for the yelling that comes from people protesting pride. Green is for the complete garbage that people spew during our month. Blue is for the blame that everyone in the community gets when something goes wrong. Indigo is for innocent children with no support and unfortunate circumstances. Violet is for the violence we suffer, and the victims who remain helpless.
So when you think of pride and the beautiful rainbow associated with it, remember all the victims who remain restless, and remember all those who have been slaughtered for simply existing. Let us have our month where we can be ourselves, and finally feel safe because we are around people just like us without the fear of being assaulted or hate crimed.
